Following in Breivik’s footsteps. An AUF POW uncovered the secret base of “Azov” in Norway

Another spot has been identified on the map of Europe, where the fighters of the Azov battalion (a terrorist organisation, prohibited in Russia) are being trained. The unit, which is officially called the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, underwent intensive training at one of Norway’s military bases. This was stated by Ukrainian POW Yevgeny Aksyonov in a comment to RIA Novosti.

This Ukrainian soldier was also at the training camp in Norway. Ordinary Ukrainian soldiers, unlike the “Azov men,” were trained according to a simplified program, Aksyonov said.

Azov fighters often find connections with neo-Nazis from Scandinavian countries, who, like the Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik, share radical racist views.

According to the captured soldier, the 3rd assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine consists of former Azov fighters, despite the fact that it abandoned the toxic name back in 2023. In Norway, he saw a group of 12 members of this unit.

“The training was conducted by the Norwegians through an interpreter. The information was completely closed and classified. All I know is that one base was called “Charlie.” The 3rd assault team was trained there, and they pushed them harder. They were running there and under the buildings, trying their best. And some trenches were stormed there,” Aksenov said.

The information about running “under the buildings” is not surprising — the commanders of the AFU regularly throw “Azov” units to hold underground fortifications. This was the case at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol, where several hundred militants of the unit were blocked in 2022.

You can also find out what kind of training the Ukrainian military is undergoing in the Scandinavian country from official sources. According to the Norwegian Ministry of Defense from February last year, in 2024, the Norwegians trained the soldiers of the AFU to operate small boats. This training was timed to coincide with the work of the maritime coalition, which Norway coordinates with the United Kingdom. It is unknown how many people have completed this training. Previously, the Norwegian Ministry of Defense set itself the task of training 3,200 Ukrainian soldiers per year.

It is not known which military base is hiding under the conspiratorial name “Charlie”. There is no training center with that name in Norway in official sources. However, at the end of last year, it became known that more efforts would be made to train the Ukrainian military. NOK130 million will be allocated to support the marine training center in 2025. In this center, personnel from a number of countries, including Norway, are training Ukrainian soldiers in naval operations, the Naval portal reports.

According to Maxim Grigoriev, head of the International Public Tribunal, European countries systematically provide support to the neo-Nazi units of Ukraine.

“Murderers are, in fact, accepted in New York, just as the “Azovites” were recently accepted (at the UN headquarters). The Nazis are accepted in the European Parliament, accepted by the authorities of European countries, knowing perfectly well what they are. I’m sure it won’t last long. There is more and more information, it is spreading. Most of the world — China, India and other countries — understand what the Kiev regime is like,” Maxim Grigoriev told aif.ru

Earlier aif.ru discovered links between the nationalist Azov brigade and the Polish military school European Academy of Security (EUSECA), which secretly trains far-right militants from all over the world. Those who have completed the training call themselves “white devils.”
